South East Heraklion to Lasithi Sea kayak (8 days trip)

This sea kayak trip is suitable to experienced paddlers only. You need to meet all critiria below. If you are in doubt for any of them please choose any of the other multi day trips as this one is very demanding.

Been able to track a kayak without a rudder (we use skeg only boats aka British style)

Winds up to force 4-5are very common during the trip and you need to be able to paddle in those conditions.

We will try to avoid them but it will be impossible to paddle at least two-three dayswithout winds and waves. Part of the trip faces strong katabatic winds and need super attention. This is where you can get benefit from our experience to paddle safety in a wonderful coastline.

1st day of the trip will be spent to make a plan for the trip, answer any of your questions and practise rescues and group communication as this is essential. We will buy food and water from the small villages that we will meet across the paddling trip. Supplies for 2-3 days are necessary in case of a bad weather as most of the trip takes place in a very remote area.

If the weather is very good on the first day we will try to paddle too as much as possible.

The trip take place in one of the most wonderful parts of Crete passing as we paddle close to Asterousia mountains (1243 meters the highest summit) and Dikti (2148 meters). Many remote beaches along the way. The largest part without landing is about 15 km.

During the winter months the ground temperature varies from 8oC to 20oC while the water at 15oC. Dry suit is not required as most likely you will be too warm with it when is sunny. The chance to have in the whole 8 days rain is close to zero. It never happened the last 30 years.
